From Editor: We initially published the first texts from the gals that went to Pedro. Although true, those giddy sentiments did not even last 24 full hours. We apologize for any misleading information. By nightfall it became apparent things were amiss….reports of broken pipes, dark brown water, no cable TV, a condemned kitchen, and generally a place that wasn’t ready for human habitation poured in. Yes, it was nice to shut a door and have privacy for the first time, and not have lights in your face 24/7, but it took a while to notice the complete picture.
We are compiling a more accurate assessment from staff and residents, and we’ll be publishing this story soon. The first analysis seems like typical DOC….fake it till ya make it. The prison is in too much of a hurry to cram more women in Perryville, so they rush the job. Stay tuned.
